On first impressions, since I have no experience with OpenGrok nor Sourcegraph, they look to serve about the same core need and provide most the same core functionality, but Sourcegraph is about what I would expect from a company providing usability and features on top of what is generally available for free.

That is, Sourcegraph looks to compare to OpenGrok like Github compares to Gitweb. At least from a cursory look.

Considering that Sourcegraph doesn't support C or C++ and those are pretty much the only languages I write that have less than perfect IDE crossrefence support I don't really see a point in Sourcegraph at the moment.

  • Didn't one of the sourcegraph founders post a link to OpenBSD in sourcegraph at the top of this thread? That's C. Am I misunderstanding what you're taking about?

    • "C/C++ is supported for text/regexp search and basic browsing (no advanced language features yet)." (message in the Sourcegraph UI)
